Hi!

I have a Bosch from 2012, SHE55M16UC/64 and it works great - that is until the kids fell on the door and bent it. Now it leaks when running so we are here.
I have included a picture for your viewing pleasure. Now the big question - is it worth fixing? The dishwasher is over 10 years old. Is this as simple as removing the screws and changing the panel out or would it require a repair service?

It looks like this is the inner panel and they go for ~ $230 - $350.

Hi,

Check the hinges as they often also get damaged when someone falls on the d/w door.

For me, repairing seems much less expensive than replacing it with a new d/w.....JMO!

Is this as simple as removing the screws and changing the panel out

Yes and no.
Everything on the old door must come off and be installed on the new inner door panel.

Thank you! I appreciate the answer - it helps to know what I would be getting myself into by fixing the panel.
